In his book, The Disc Musical Box, Kevin McElhone references a Monopol
Harp on page 49: "In 1894 the company showed the Rakoczy, an Upright
model standing 6 ft 2 in (188 cm) high and playing on strings.  However,
no evidence has been found to-date that these instruments were put into
production."

An example of this instrument has surfaced here in the United States.
However, there are no discs with it.  The owner would like to hear it
play and has asked me to try and find some discs.

Can anyone provide information about this instrument, including original
discs?
